I always love a chance to talk with my friend Laura Paskus, who is one of the most amazing journalists anywhere. She interviewed me about Project Jupiter for today’s episode of the Lesser Known New Mexico Podcast. /1

It feels remarkable to me that so many Republicans joined Democrats during Monday’s special session to reject the weaponization of food. Here are my thoughts on what happened. /1

Once upon a time, Republicans had the common decency to ensure people didn’t starve over a political disagreement. Now, Republicans in our state Legislature have an opportunity to break with President Donald Trump, stop lying, and do the right thing. /1

We are not letting New Mexican families go hungry because the Trump admin doesn’t want to fulfill their legal & moral obligation to fully fund SNAP benefits children, seniors, and veterans rely on

When politicians say things that are simply outrageous, it’s important that journalists challenge them. That’s why you’ll read in my new article that it is “difficult to fathom” that state Senate Minority Leader Bill Sharer “believes his own statement.” /1

CBP Searched a Record Number of Phones at the US Border Over the Past Year
The total number of US Customs and Border Protection device searches jumped by 17 percent over the 2024 fiscal year, but more invasive forensic searches remain relatively rare.

While hunting oryx today my dad and I encountered one of the biggest Western diamondbacks I’ve ever seen. It rattled at me from 30 feet away to ask me to keep my distance. I did.
There was no danger to any of us so I took some photos before leaving it alone.
Look at that rattle! Con mucho respeto.

After I reported last week that Project Jupiter’s biggest promises were included in drafts of legally binding agreements, I received new versions of those documents from Doña Ana County that were missing many of the pledges. I started asking questions. /1
